    If you have a dvd is the quality the same if you copy it straight from the dvd or you download it as an .avi file? What gives out better quality or is it the same?

    hi

    dvd to dvdr can be good and almost same quality depends what apps are used and how big the dvd original is?

    avi / mpeg to dvdr can be good depending on avi / mpeg quailty to start with! and again most important what apps are used to get dvdr!

    what is the source of the files you are downloading .Although they are in avi, that doesnt guarrantee that the quality is going to be as good as what you get when you back up a dvd

    I don't think you'll be able to get any better than the source with quality. So if what you downloaded is crap, that's about the best you're gonna get (unless someone know otherwise).

    There are tons of programs out there to encode to DVD. Any DVD authoring program will do it (TMPGEnc, DVD Lab Pro, etc.) and then there are other programs like Divx2DVD and AVI2DVD.
